In 1973, 4.5 acres of this Historic Commercial District were scheduled for demolition and high-rise development which would have destroyed the Charleston skyline. The foundation, with donations from concerned friends across the nation, saved the area for low-rise renovation, and established a model for the future growth of the Peninsula City.

Erected by Save Charleston Foundation.
